THE FINALS Update 9.5.0 Fixes Weapon Exploit and Map Lighting

THE FINALS Update 9.5.0 patches an exploit that turned the FAMAS fully automatic, fixes a bright lighting issue on Fangwai City, and brings back the Vertigo Cashout event.

The latest patch for THE FINALS addresses weapon behavior, map visuals, and lobby stability while reintroducing a classic event mode.

Weapon and Security Fixes

Switching from a Healing Beam to the FAMAS no longer turns the weapon fully automatic. Developers also disabled a launch command that granted unintended access to a developer console.

Map and Mode Adjustments

Overly bright areas on Fangwai City have been dimmed. Private matches no longer fail to connect when a spectator is present, and the non-functional P.E.A.C.E Center map selection was removed.

Events and Store

Cashout: Vertigo brings back double-jump gravity-defying rules mid-match. Meanwhile, the Snow Poser Set debuts alongside discounted past bundles in the store.

Why this patch matters

Update 9.5.0 serves as a targeted maintenance patch removing unintended weapon behavior and repairing private match connectivity.
